President Obama has revealed his true colors by failing to speak out against Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s seizure of power in Egypt, effectively turning the country into a dictatorship with Morsi and the Brotherhood at its helm.

Obama’s conspicuous silence and his failure to take action against the coup means that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood and everything they stand for and are trying to do in Egypt, the Middle East and beyond, including the United States.

It means that he supports Sharia and its imposition in Egypt, that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s desire to turn Egypt into a full-fledged Islamic country governed by Islamic law, that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s hatred of Jews and Israel and its desire to obliterate Israel and wipe it off the map, that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s use of bloodshed and terror to further its ends, that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s desire to establish a Caliphate and make Sharia universal, including in America, that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhoods ( and Islam’s) anti-American, anti-Western animus, that he supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s attempts to crush freedom, democracy and human rights in Egypt (freedom, democracy and human rights being completely incompatible with Islam), that he will do nothing to support freedom and democracy in Egypt or anywhere else in the Middle East, that he will do everything he can to help Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood consolidate their power in Egypt, including keeping the flow of massive amounts of aid coming, that he will continue to try and weaken Israel and make it more vulnerable than it already is, that he will continue to act as the Muslim Brotherhood’s proxy in the United States, that he will continue to do everything he can to Islamize the U.S. and its institutions and establish Sharia and Islam in America…it means that he is an Islamist himself and that he feels free to come out of the closet now that he doesn’t have to worry about getting re-elected.

Given his background and track record there is no other explanation for his behavior.

Here are a few questions Americans should ask themselves.

Why has Obama and his administration consistently aligned the United States with Islamists and Jihadists instead of those who are fighting them, to the detriment of U.S. national security?

Why is Obama’s administration full of Islamists and Jihadists, many with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, who do not have the best interests of the United States at heart and whose loyalties lie with Islam and not America?

Why has Obama knowingly undermined and weakened Israel’s national security and knowingly undermined and weakened the national security of the United States as a result?

Why has Obama fostered, encouraged and enabled the Islamization of the United States and its institutions, including the military?

Why does Obama wear a ring inscribed with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith (There is no god except Allah) on it and why has he worn the ring for over 30 years?

Obama has given us many and varied reasons to impeach him since he first came into office. Coming out of the closet as an Islamist and working against the interests of the America and Americans to advance Islam in the United States, the Middle East and around the world is the biggest reason of all.

We have to impeach him while we still can…freedom, democracy, our country and our lives depend on it.

As for getting rid of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood…the Egyptian people will have to do that on their own, without any help from Obama…in spite of Obama.

President Mohammed Morsi of Egypt just turned himself into a dictator with unfettered power by issuing a declaration that makes him immune from judicial oversight.

Since he already held both executive and legislative power he has effectively concentrated all power into his own hands and become Hosni Mubarak’s successor as dictator of Egypt.

With this latest move he has in fact more power than Mubarak ever had.

Prominent reformer Mohammed Elbaradei wrote that “Morsi today usurped all state powers & appointed himself Egypt’s new pharoah.”

Quite true and very disturbing, not only because Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood colleagues have seized power in Egypt and brought the Arab Spring freedom and democracy movement screeching to a dead halt there but also because Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood have every intention of making Sharia the law of the land and will move speedily to do so (a move that will mean untold suffering for millions upon millions of Egyptians, especially women and religious minorities, and a move which will worsen not improve the country’s sick economy) and because Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood hate Jews and hate Israel and cannot tolerate the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East (never mind right next to Egypt) and will launch a war against Israel as soon as they can while sabotaging her as much as possible in the meantime, which means of course that rivers of Egyptian blood will be spilled and thousands if not millions of Egyptian deaths will occur when the fighting begins in earnest.

Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s intentions have been crystal clear right from the start. What they want to do has never been secret, not to those who paid attention anyway. Their aim has always been to turn Egypt into a truly Islamic state and have all Egyptians live under Sharia, to eradicate Israel and remove her from the face of the earth and to establish a worldwide Caliphate and have everyone live under Islam and Islamic law. If they get away with this power grab Sharia will soon be law in Egypt , war with Israel will be that much closer and so will the Caliphate.

There is a great deal of opposition to Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and demonstrations riots and strikes against the power grab have broken out all over the country since it was announced. Unfortunately, it is very doubtful if the opposition is strong enough to reverse it and it looks like it is a fait accompli.

Actually, it is a fait accompli unless U.S. President Obama convinces, or forces, Morsi and the Brotherhood to rescind the declaration. No one else can do it because no one else has the leverage that Obama has.

Why should he do it?

Because an Egypt with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood at its helm is categorically not in the best interests of the United States…because an Egypt with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood at its helm would severely compromise the national security of the United States…because an Egypt with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood at its helm would increase the spread of Islam in the United States and other Western nations at the expense of freedom and democracy…because allowing the Egyptian people to suffer and starve is morally wrong…because allowing Egypt to launch a war against Israel is ethically wrong and strategically stupid…because encouraging and enabling the rise of Islam in Egypt or anywhere else is tantamount to endorsing a return to the seventh century, tantamount to endorsing hatred, violence, racism, apartheid, misogyny, intolerance, murder, cruelty, slavery, paedophilia, lslamic supremacism, darkness and all the other evils that are at Islam’s heart and carried out in its name…because encouraging and enabling the rise of Islam in Egypt or anywhere else is tantamount to endorsing how Islam manifests itself in the world and how it has always manifested itself…because encouraging and endorsing Islam in Egypt or anywhere else is tantamount to rejecting freedom, democracy, secularism, pluralism, equality, choice, mobility, openness, opportunity, music, light and other attributes that characterize the free, civilized, Western world.

How can he do it?

Egypt receives approximately two billion dollars in aid every year from the United States, well over half of which goes to the military. Egypt is dependent on that aid and there is no question that withholding part of it or withdrawing it altogether would get Morsi and the Brotherhoods attention very quickly. Money talks and the massive amount of aid the U.S. gives Egypt every year gives it leverage that no one else has because withholding or withdrawing it would cause the government and the country to collapse and Morsi and the Brotherhood know it.

Obama has many other levers as well.

Will he do it…will he convince, or force, Morsi and the Brotherhood to rescind the declaration?

No, he won’t.

In the first place he is a closet Islamist (for now) and his sympathies lie with Morsi and the Brotherhood, not with the freedom and democracy movement. In the second place, when he abandoned former President Mubarak he opened the door for Morsi and the Brotherhood to take power and closing it now would be an admission of failure, an admission that his entire Middle Eastern policy has been a failure because he opened the door for enemies of the United States all over the region, not just in Egypt, and the region is imploding as a result…Obama does not and cannot admit to failure. In the third place, look at his background and track record and you’ll see that he won’t exercise his influence to any meaningful degree. In the fourth place, look at the ring on his finger.

That brings us to the Egyptian people themselves.

With their seizure of power Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are turning the Arab Spring into the Arab Winter in Egypt and in the absence of Obama the Egyptian people themselves are the only one’s that could conceivably keep darkness from descending on the land, the only ones that could conceivably bring Morsi and the Brotherhood to heel, the only ones that could conceivably resurrect the promise of the Arab Spring.

Will any of that happen? No it won’t. Some of them are trying but they will not succeed and Morsi and the Brotherhood’s seizure of power really is a fait accompli.

Climate change has come to Egypt alright. This bodes very ill for Egyptians and everyone else in the Middle East and also for Americans and everyone else in the Western world.

Israel’s military might and willingness and ability to use it to defend itself against those who wish to destroy her, Iran, Hamas and their Arab/Islamic brethren included, are the only things that keep the country alive.

Israel just allowed itself to be pressured by the United States and others into signing a ceasefire agreement with Hamas that is completely meaningless and plainly not in her own best interests because it will do nothing to deter Hamas from its stated goal of removing Israel from the face of the earth and terrorizing, maiming and murdering as many Israelis as it can along the way…because it will encourage and enable Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren to keep on with their efforts to do exactly that… because it will ensure that they keep on trying to do exactly that.

Israel had three objectives when it invoked its right of self-defence and attacked Hamas last week…to stop Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren from firing missiles into Israel, to re-establish Israel’s deterrent power and to destroy Hamas’s long range missile capabilities. It had achieved none of those objectives when it signed the ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire agreement might bring a very temporary respite, but very temporary it will be and Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren will soon start attacking Israel and terrorizing, maiming and murdering Israelis all over again.

The government of Israel had to know all that before it signed the ceasefire agreement but chose to sign it anyway.

The government of Israel stopped short under pressure from the United States and others…that’s what it did. In effect, it told Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren that they can keep on attacking, terrorizing, maiming and murdering Israelis and keep on trying to wipe Israel off the map and not suffer any real consequences. It didn’t prevent future attacks, it invited them and ensured that they will happen. Soon.

Exhibiting weakness is the biggest cardinal sin any Israeli government can commit and the government of Israel just exhibited a great deal of weakness by allowing itself to be pressured into signing the ceasefire agreement when it did, before it had achieved its objectives.

You can be sure that Israel’s enemies, Iran included, will be quick, very quick, to try and take advantage of Israel’s weakness and that whatever they do will be bloody. Very, very bloody.

Israel better do something very strong and very dramatic to stop them from proceeding. Whatever it does needs to be done soon. Very, very soon.

So Iran is crowing that Israel’s accepting a ceasefire is a sign of weakness.

Unless Israel knows something you and I don’t Iran is correct.

Israel has to change Iran’s thinking (and all of Iran’s fellow travellers too, including Hamas) and not waste any time doing it either.

Israel made a big mistake by signing a cease-fire agreement with Hamas and not sending its army into Gaza to root out and remove the terrorist organization.

Israel backed down by agreeing to the cease-fire and not invading and backing down is going to cost it dearly down the road.

In the Middle East backing down is viewed as weakness and when Israel backed down by signing the cease-fire agreement and choosing not to invade it told Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren that it was weak, a paper tiger if you will, and unwilling to use its military might to defend the country and its people.

Showing weakness to its murderous neighbors is the worst possible thing any Israeli government can do and Israel just showed a considerable amount of weakness by backing down, signing a cease-fire agreement and not invading Gaza. All that will do is is encourage her enemies to increase the ferocity of their attacks…all that will do is enable Israel’s enemies to keep on attacking, keep on raining rockets on Israel, keep on trying to murder Israelis, keep on trying to destroy Israel and wipe it off the map while killing as many Israelis as they can until they do.

The government of Israel just made a huge mistake alright, a mistake that will lead to enormous losses of blood and treasure for Israelis, a mistake that might even lead to the demise of the country. In the Middle East you either live by the sword or die by the sword and when Israel backed down and sheathed its sword it sent a very clear message to its enemies.

Don’t think they didn’t receive it either.

Don’t think we won’t start seeing the results, soon, either.

What on earth was the government thinking? It must have known that a cease-fire agreement is meaningless, that Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren will start attacking again soon. Israel ostensibly had three objectives when it struck back against Hamas last week, to stop Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren from launching rockets into Israel, to re-establish Israel’s deterrent power and to destroy Hamas’s long range missiles. The government knew it had achieved none of them when it chose not to invade, signed the cease-fire agreement and backed down. What on earth was it thinking indeed?

More to the point now that the deed is done what can it do to redress the situation?

Here’s a suggestion.

Keep the army poised on the border and the instant a rocket is fired into Israel, invade, wipe out Hamas and re-occupy Gaza.

Now that would stop Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren from launching rockets into Israel, re-establish Israel’s deterrent power and destroy Hamas’s long range missiles.

Hey, maybe that’s what the government was thinking, maybe that’s why Israel signed the cease-fire agreement. Maybe Israel wants to use Hamas’s breaking the agreement, which won’t take very long, as an excuse to invade and occupy Gaza. Not that it needed one, but still…

Maybe Israel is setting up Hamas by agreeing to a cease-fire it knows Hamas will break so that it can invade and occupy Gaza with as little disapproval and condemnation as possible.

Canada’s National Post newspaper published an editorial on the latest round of fighting between Hamas and Israel this morning and closed it with the following words.

“In Gaza, meanwhile, mothers and fathers are championing the Gaza spirit by encouraging their sons to go out and kill Jews any way they can.”

“Until that mentality changes, no true peace will ever come.”

Very, very true.

There will never be peace between Israel and her neighbors until those neighbors stop hating Jews, stop trying to maim, terrorize and murder Israelis and stop trying to destroy Israel and remove it from the face of the earth. Until that happens peace is simply not possible. Islamic Jew hatred is what’s really behind all the destruction, suffering, bloodshed, death and war which has occurred between Israel and her neighbors over the years and which is playing out yet again in Gaza as this is being written and unless that changes there is no possibility of peace now or in the future.

The Post failed to speak about the source, the cause of that hatred however.

The source, the cause is not the existence of Israel or any depredations or affronts supposedly committed by Israel since the country was born. The hatred and its expression has nothing to do with any of that, has nothing to do with Israel as such. The source, the cause of the hatred and its expression, the source, the cause of the destruction, suffering, bloodshed, death and war is Islam, which is virulently anti-Jewish and has been from its earliest days and which commands its followers to murder Jews and by extension, destroy Israel, the Jewish nation. Islam is full of hatred, disgust and contempt for Jews and its texts and teachings cannot be clearer about how that hatred, disgust and contempt must be expressed.

With the sword, that’s how.

There you have it. The source, the cause, of all the conflicts and wars between Israel and her neighbors and of all the concomitant destruction, suffering, bloodshed and death is Islam. Destruction, suffering, bloodshed, death and war will remain staples of life in the Middle East unless and until Islam is rejected, unless and until its followers reject its inborn hatred, disgust and contempt for Jews and its poisonous, murderous commands and choose to live in peace and security with Israel. That is the change that has to happen for there to be peace and you can forget about peace happening unless and until it does. The mothers and fathers in Gaza and the rest of the Arab/Islamic world will keep on sending their sons (and daughters too) out to kill Jews unless and until they reject Islam.

Peace? Rejecting Islam is the key.

In the meantime destruction, suffering, bloodshed, death and war between Israel and her neighbors will continue apace.

So Israel and Hamas just signed a ceasefire agreement. So what? The ceasefire will be temporary, very temporary, and the fighting and everything that goes along with it will soon start all over again.

Israel should not agree to a cease-fire. It should quit messing around, quit deluding itself that it can stop Hamas from firing rockets and launching terrorist attacks against Israelis with rockets of its own, invade, wipe out Hamas and re-occupy Gaza.

Agreeing to a cease-fire will not make Israelis safer, will not stop Hamas from firing rockets and launching terrorist attacks against Israel and will not do anything to enhance Israel’s short or long-term national security either. A cease-fire will keep the rockets and terrorist attacks coming and will harm Israel’s national security because it will give Hamas time to re-arm and will be interpreted by Hamas and its fellow Arab/Islamic haters and murderers as a sign of weakness, weakness being deadly and suicidal in the Middle East. It will enable and encourage Hamas to keep on trying to destroy Israel and terrorize and murder as many Israelis as it can along the way, which is the object of the exercise, the reason for its existence.

Cease-fires have not worked in Israel’s favour in the past and a cease-fire will not work now either. It basically won’t be worth the paper it is printed on because Hamas won’t abide by the agreement. There might be a very brief respite but it won’t be long at all before Hamas starts firing rockets and launching terrorist attacks on Israel again and Israel finds itself right back to where it was when the current round of hostilities began.

Hamas won’t change because it cannot change. Its charter and its religion commit it to the total destruction of Israel. Changing would mean that it must reject its charter and reject Islam and its requirements and demands to fight and kill Jews and by extension Israelis and Israel and those things it simply cannot and will not do.

It is not just that Hamas is consumed by anti-Semitism and an anti-Israel, anti-Israeli animus, consumed by hatred and disgust for Jews, for Israel and for Israelis. It is that Islam requires and demands that Hamas act on those beliefs and the only way to do that is to destroy Israel and kill as many Jews as it can in the process. That is what the charter is based on and that is why Hamas exists to begin with. Hamas isn’t going to change because it is acting in the name of Islam and Islam doesn’t permit change, which means that it is going to keep on doing what Islam demands and requires of it… which means that the rocket and terrorist attacks against Israel will continue, cease-fire or no cease-fire.

Which is why of course Israel shouldn’t agree to one.

Which is why of course that Israel should invade Gaza, root out and excise Hamas and occupy the territory once again.

Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza seven years ago has brought Israelis nothing but suffering, bloodshed, destruction and death at the hands of Hamas, at the hands of Islam. The country has paid an enormous price in blood and treasure because it left Gaza and it will continue to pay an enormous price in blood and treasure until it invades, excises the cancer that is Hamas and re-occupies the territory to keep it from returning. That is a fact of life which no cease-fire agreement will change.

And if Hamas doesn’t like it, if Islamists don’t like it, too bad. Its their own fault in the end anyway.

Hamas has regularly and frequently used women, children and old people, civilians to put it plainly, as human shields in its past conflicts with Israel and it is doing the same in the current conflict it caused. Using civilians as human shields has been a staple feature of Hamas ‘fighters’ in the past and it remains a staple feature of Hamas ‘fighters’ today.

No one should blame Israel when women, children or old people are maimed or killed by Israeli shells.

Hamas should be blamed instead for launching rocket attacks from civilian areas, for deliberately placing women, children and old people in locations likely to be targeted and for hiding behind women, children and old people in firefights and skirmishes, all in the hope of avoiding retaliation and scoring political points…all in the hope of saving its ‘fighters’ own skin and manufacturing incidents in order to vilify and demonize Israel before the world.

On the other hand, Israel should be praised for keeping civilian casualties to an absolute minimum and for doing everything it can to avoid them to begin with, often placing its own soldiers in jeopardy to do so.

The use of human shields by Hamas is cynical, callous, cowardly, venal and monstrous by any civilized standard. It shows the world, yet again, that Hamas has no respect for life and that it is willing to go to any means to achieve its ends, which are of course to destroy Israel and remove it from the face of the earth and to terrorize and murder as many Israelis as it can in the process.

Using human shields is cynical, callous, cowardly, venal and monstrous enough…bragging about their use, as Hamas has done on many occasions, and being proud of using them, as Hamas patently is, somehow makes their use even worse. Words like cynical, callous, cowardly, venal and monstrous certainly fit the bill…so do barbaric, savage, inhuman and psychopathic.

It is Hamas in Gaza that is responsible for the outbreak of the violence….There is no justification for firing rockets on Israel which are causing massive suffering to the Israeli population. The Chancellor urges those responsible in the Gaza Strip to immediately stop firing on Israel

Spokesperson for Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany.

Angela Merkel’s statement is representative of pronouncements made by governments and international organizations around the world which have strongly supported Israel’s right to defend itself, which have strongly condemned Hamas for attacking Israel and provoking the Israeli response in the first place and which have called upon Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel as a precursor to ending hostilities. The United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and many, many others (even the European Union, which has long been hostile to Israel and all things Israeli) have all said more or less the same thing…Hamas is to blame for the Israeli attack on Gaza because it provoked Israel into attacking with its own attacks on Israel, Israel has every right to defend itself and its response is entirely justified and Hamas must stop firing rockets into Israel from Gaza for a ceasefire to happen.

Merkel and the others are absolutely right. Hamas is entirely to blame for all the destruction, suffering, bloodshed and death in Gaza and Israel. Hamas chose to attack Israel and is choosing to keep on attacking. Israel has in fact restrained itself so far. It has responded with air and sea power and has not sent ground forces into Gaza to fight Hamas, which would escalate matters exponentially. If Israel does send ground forces into Gaza to fight Hamas the blame will be entirely on Hamas as well because it will have chosen to keep on attacking Israel, leaving Israel no choice but to respond in force. After all, what else can Israel do to prevent Hamas from constantly firing rockets into the country, from constantly trying to terrorize the population, destroy as much property and infrastructure as it can and murder or maim as many Israelis as possible ? Nothing, that’s what.

And please, stop yourself before you say ‘negotiate’ or ‘make concessions’ or other such drivel. Israel has been negotiating and making concessions since she first came into existence, to absolutely no avail. The problem is Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren do not want to live side by side in peace and security with Israel. Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren want to destroy Israel and remove it from the face of the earth…they want to wipe Israel off the map and get rid of the Jewish presence in their midst. That’s what’s behind the violence of the past, that’s what’s behind the current violence and that’s what will be behind future violence. And make no mistake, future violence there will be. Until the Arab/Islamic world accepts Israel’s legitimate right to exist and allows her to live in peace and security with her neighbors there will be outbreaks like the present one. Since that isn’t going to happen anytime soon there will be many more outbreaks to come.

Upset are you? Don’t blame Israel or Israelis for doing what they have to do to survive. No one wants peace more than them. Blame Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren for making peace impossible, for all the violence, destruction, suffering, bloodshed and death. It could all end in a moment if they wanted it to, if they allowed it to. Blame them alright. And then hold them to account and do something about it.

In the meantime, you really have to admire Israel and Israelis for showing extraordinary courage and fortitude and for surviving and thriving as a small, free, democratic, humane country against all odds, for showing extraordinary courage and fortitude and for surviving and thriving as a small, free, democratic, humane country while surrounded by 70 million odd people who have done nothing except try and destroy her since she first came into existence, for showing extraordinary courage and fortitude and for surviving and thriving as a small, free, democratic, humane country and not descending into the barbarity and savagery of her enemies, for showing extraordinary courage and fortitude and for surviving and thriving as a small, free, democratic, humane country and keeping her fate in her own hands.

You also of course have to revile Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren for their hatred, violence, barbarity and savagery and for all the destruction, suffering, bloodshed and death they have caused over the years.

Merkel was wrong about one thing. Hamas and its Arab/Islamic brethren justify firing rockets into Israel and have no hesitation in doing so.

How do they justify it?

Learn about Islam as it really is and has always been and you’ll have the answer.

A war memorial in Toronto, Ontario was defaced with the words “Canada will burn; Praise Allah” shortly after Remembrance Day ceremonies ended on November 11.

Most Canadians found the desecration disgraceful and deeply offensive and Toronto police labelled it a hate crime because of the language of the desecration and because it was directed towards a clearly identifiable group…Canadian soldiers who died fighting for freedom and democracy in various wars Canada has participated in.

It was a hate crime to be sure but it was directed towards a much larger group than Canadian soldiers who died fighting for freedom and democracy. It was directed towards Canadians themselves and Canada itself. It was written because Canadian freedom and democracy are anathema to Islamists and Islam, because Islamists and Islam hate and are disgusted by Canadian freedom and democracy, because Islam is a supremacist ideology that mandates obedience to its beliefs (by everyone, not just Islamists) and because Islamists and Islam have no tolerance or respect for anything that is non-Islamic.

Whoever defaced the war memorial really does believe that Canada will burn because it doesn’t subscribe to Islam and because Canadians don’t live an Islamic way of life. Whoever defaced the war memorial believes that burning (and destruction, bloodshed and death) in the name of Islam is entirely legitimate and justified because Islam teaches that it is, because Islam teaches that it is in fact required. Whoever defaced the war memorial may even do some burning or destroying or killing himself or herself…if they do it will be done in the name of Islam and the perpetrator will no doubt praise Allah and/or Muhammad for allowing it to happen.

Let’s hope that the desecration of the war memorial serves as a wake-up call to Canadians. Let’s hope that it spurs Canadians to see just how savage, barbaric and intolerant Islam really is and to recognize and understand the serious threat it poses to Canadian freedom and democracy and the Canadian way of life. Let’s hope that this appalling incident will spur Canadians to fight off the further Islamization of their country and to take remedial measures against the Islamization which has already occurred. Let’s hope that Canadians have the courage to keep their country free, democratic, secular and pluralistic.

Desecrating the war memorial was disgraceful, deeply offensive and hateful alright. Some good may come of it though.

Palestinians have launched massive rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza since President Obama was re-elected in the United States. The rockets are aimed at Israeli towns and cities in order to terrorize, maim and murder Israeli civilians and destroy as much infrastructure and property as possible.

Purposefully attacking civilians like this is barbaric and savage enough, and all too typical of Palestinians and their Arab/Islamic brethren, but the attacks are made even worse because many of them are timed to kill Israeli children. That makes them beyond savage and barbaric, it makes them inhuman, just like their perpetrators and just like the doctrine of hatred, violence and anti-Semitism the perpetrators actions are based on…Islam

Israel has shown a great deal of restraint so far and has not responded in force. If the attacks keep up however it will have no choice and may even have to send ground forces into Gaza to stop them. Stopping the attacks has to be Israel’s number one priority and if it has to respond in force to do it and if that means bloodshed and death for Palestinians so be it. No nation can accept being attacked like the Palestinians are attacking Israel and a serious, forceful Israeli military response would be entirely justified. The responsibility for whatever Palestinian blood is shed and whatever Palestinian deaths which occur would rest solely with the Palestinians themselves because they have brought the response on themselves by launching the rockets against Israel in the first place.

Its not surprising at all that these attacks have come in the wake of Obama’s election victory. Obama is no friend of Israel and he and his administration have acted against her in many ways since he took office. That his efforts to undermine Israel run contrary to the national security interests of the United States is beside the point…Obama has a real aversion to Israel and the Palestinians may very well have decided that they have a green light to attack Israel because he has four more years in the White House.

In fact, given Obama’s track record and ideology they probably did decide that.

In fact, given Obama’s track record and ideology their Arab/ Islamic brethren have probably decided the same thing, have probably decided that it is open season on Israel because Obama and America will do nothing of substance to assist her, certainly nothing militarily.

In fact, I am quite sure that they have decided exactly that because they have taken the measure of Obama and know exactly how weak, feckless, anti-Israel, anti-American and pro-Islamic he really is.

I am quite sure that the Israelis recognize and understand this too.

What does all of this mean?

It means that Palestinians and their Arab/Islamic brethren will continue to militarily attack Israel until they are stopped by Israel herself.

It means that the United States will not act militarily on Israel’s behalf regardless of the circumstances.

It means that Palestinians and their Arab/ Islamic brethren will continue to demonize, vilify, lie about and try and delegitimize Israel on the world stage and that Israel cannot depend upon America to support her.

It means that Obama’s foreign policy of appeasing, mollifying and kowtowing to Palestinians and their Arab/Islamic brethren is a complete and utter failure and that Palestinians and their Arab/Islamic brethren are in effect laughing in his face.

It means that Israel’s fate is truly in her own hands.

It means that sooner or later Israel will have to re-occupy Gaza and possibly the West Bank.

It means that sooner or later Israel will have to unilaterally attack Iran’s nuclear weapons development facilities.

It means that sooner or later Palestinians and their Arab/Islamic brethren will plunge the Middle East into war and that there will be grave consequences for the United States.

No, its no surprise at all that Palestinians are launching massive rocket attacks against Israel so soon after Obama’s re-election.

Its just the latest manifestation of how barbaric, savage, hateful and inhuman they truly are.
